Kerry Godliman brings her stand-up show Stick or Twist to Newcastle’s Northern Stage on Saturday. She is a regular on Live at the Apollo and Mock the Week, and you may recognise her from her acting career which includes her playing Hannah in Ricky Gervais’ Derek and the mum in Our Girl.

Do you have any connections to the North East? Got some lovely friends that live in Whitley Bay. Looking forward to catching up with them.

Have you visited the area before? I’ve been up for a few gigs over the years.

Can you do a Geordie accent? I can’t do a Geordie accent at all. I sound like a terrible racist when I try.

What’s the best thing about this event? I am looking forward to performing in Newcastle. It’s been ages since I was there and I remember always having a lovely time when I’m there.

What will be the highlight of the next few months for you? Highlights for the autumn are Taskmaster on Dave Channel and Bad Move coming onto ITV2! As well as real life, obvs.
